Field trip to Heyward Point Scenic Reserve

This reserve near Aramoana, is a rare example of coastal podocarp/broadleaved forest with many special features including fragrant tree daisy (Olearia fragrantissima) and climbing daisy (Brachyglottis sciadophila). With luck, lunch will be in the sun admiring the interesting shrub and herb communities on the dramatic coastal cliffs and headland. We'll do a return trip from the end of Heyward Point Road. Meet at the Botany Department carpark at 9 a.m. Leader John Barkla 027 326 7917.
